I put the
picture next to the others with a note:

 

I hope that when you look at this picture
you think of me and know how much I love you.

 

Forever yours,

Pretty girl

I hug myself
smiling and know he will like this surprise. I leave his office and try to find
Connor. I walk by a large conference room and see Adam sitting there with a
leggy blonde-haired person at his side. I start to feel the heat in me rise.
That must be Olivia. I look closer and she is sitting excessively close to him.
She is wearing a white pencil skirt with a slit in the back and I can see her
fit legs. Her black top shows a little too much. I see her manicured fingers
touching
my
boyfriend. I see her eyeing him but like any other guy, he
doesn’t notice it. She looks up and sees me watching them. I get the most
uncomfortable feeling and see a devilish smile forming on her face. She turns
her head away and gets up. I get nervous and think she is going to talk to me
but she stands behind Adam. I watch closer and she is massaging his shoulders!
I freak out! I am about to storm in and cause hell when I feel someone pulling
me away. I turn around to see Connor. “You didn’t tell me she is hot!” I
seethe. “Let me go now Connor!” I try to pull myself away but he doesn’t let
up.

 

“You do know you
look like an ultra creeper right now, right?” He rubs my arms to try to calm
me. “Listen Hulk, don’t go busting in there like a screaming crazy woman. Let
it go. I’ll talk to him.”

 

“I don’t care!”
I’m getting loud and feel bad. I cover my mouth and shake my head.

 

Connor puts his
arm around me. “Come on you. Let’s get lunch.” I look over my shoulder and see
her staring back at me. I hate her already.

Chapter 22
 

I’m on a mission
tonight. I want to cook a romantic dinner for Adam and me with the works;
candles, music and his favorite dish, chicken Parmesan. When Connor drops me
off, I ask if he can stay away from the apartment for a while. He laughs and
agrees. I run up the stairs and when I get inside, I go straight to work.

 

The kitchen is a
chef’s dream. All the appliances are new and clean. The guys hardly used it, so
everything is in top working condition. I put my phone in the
IHome
, press shuffle on my music app and let the voice of
Luke Bryan fill the kitchen. I start dancing around and get to work. I take out
the chicken from the fridge and put all the ingredients on the counter. I crack
the eggs into a mixing bowl and pour the breadcrumbs on a tray. I set the oven
to 375 and start whisking the eggs. I dip the chicken in the eggs and then the
breadcrumbs. I have another tray where I put the chicken on and repeat the process
a few more times. I put water in a pot and place it on the stove. When it
starts to boil, I pour in the pasta. I look in the cabinets for vodka sauce;
Adam’s favorite and mine. I push through the jars and finally find the sauce in
the back of the cabinet. I set the heat on the stove to low and pour the sauce
in the pot and place the cover on. Everything is set in the oven and on the
stove as I clean up the mess. I set the timer for twenty-five minutes and skip
to the room to get ready.

 

I pull out the candles
on the vanity and set them aside. I start looking through my closet to find the
perfect dress to wear. As I thumb through my clothes, I find the perfect dress,
a simple strapless beige dress that enhances my curves. I have only worn it a
few times and each time I have, I feel sexy and hot. I slip on the dress and
throw on a pink cardigan. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. Damn I do
look hot. I reapply some more makeup and notice the time on the clock. It is
almost
six
pm
and Adam
should be home soon. I hear the timer go off and run to the kitchen.

 

I drain the
pasta and put it in a different bowl. The sauce is bubbling and ready. I start
pouring the sauce onto the pasta and then take out the tray of chicken from the
oven. I take out two plates and start putting our dinner on the plates and head
over to the table. Everything is picture perfect except for the candles. It
looks a little silly but they are the only ones I have. The candles are in jars
with a fruity scent. I walk over to my phone and play,
“Alive”
by
Krewella
. I smile to myself as
I listen to the lyrics. This is how he makes me feel-alive. I start swaying to
the music and think about all of our times together.
Perfection.
Nothing and no one can steal these moments from me. I hear the door open. I
whip my head back, “Adam?”

 

He comes in with
a bouquet of lilies and roses and a small gold gift bag. He walks over to me
and gives me his beautiful smile.
“Pretty girl.”
He
gives me a kiss and I start to melt. “What’s this occasion?”

 

“Just because,
what is that?” I look at the bag and get a little excited.

 

He hands me the
flowers. “These are for you.” As he lifts the gift bag, his head is shaking and
waving his finger in my face. “But this is for later.”

 

I throw my arms
around him and hold on for a moment. I love his smell and everything about him.
Something is stirring throughout my body and I hold on tighter.
“Everything ok?”
He pulls back and raises an eyebrow. That
worried expression kills me. When will he realize I am ok?

 

“I’m just glad
you’re home. I made us dinner and want to spend time with you, just us.”

 

He holds me and
stares into my eyes. “That sounds perfect.” Adam settles at the table while I
grab our plates. As I sit down, my eyes keep looking over at the gift bag. “I
know you want to see what is inside,” he says with a playful tone.

 

“Please! I’m so
curious.”
 
I bounce in my seat with a
pouty
face.

 

After several
moments of silence, Adam gets up to retrieve the gift bag. “Alright, here you
go. I hope you like it.” His tone seems nervous.

 

I take the bag
and take out the two boxes. I examine the box and shiny silver and gold
wrapping paper. I slowly peel off the wrapping paper and open the first box.
Inside is a beautiful heart pendant necklace with diamonds all over. I clap my
hands over my mouth. “Oh my God, babe this is so beautiful! But you already
bought me a necklace.”

 

Adam smiles,
“This is your new one baby.”

 

“Oh
Adam, thank you!”
I
lean in and give him a kiss. Once our lips meet, I can feel the instant heat
between us. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. I find myself
straddling him at the kitchen table and feel his arousal. I love what I do to
him. His hands are all over me and it feels incredible. I’ve missed him so
much. It seems like forever since we’ve been this way. I want to make sure that
tonight is just about us and no one else. Adam slowly pulls away and presses
his lips against my forehead.

 

“Baby,” he
chuckles, “You have another gift and we still have dinner.”

 

Embarrassed, I
get off him and sit back down in my chair. “Sorry,” I quietly say.

 

“Hey,” Adam gets
on his knees and takes my hand, “You didn’t do anything wrong. I love you baby
and I have missed you. I just want to share this amazing dinner with my
beautiful girlfriend and then show her how much I’ve missed her.”

 

I give him
another kiss and smile. “I love you too.”

 

“Now open up
your next gift.” Adam gets back up and goes to his chair.

 

I take out the
next box and unwrap it. It is a longer box and I wonder what is inside. When I
open it, I see the most gorgeous silver diamond tennis bracelet. The diamonds
are sparkling in my eyes and I can’t help but cry. I have never received so
many gifts from someone. I know Adam wants to make me feel special but a part
of me feels guilty. I don’t want him to think he has to shower me with presents
to make me happy. “Adam, thank you, but you don’t have to keep buying me
presents.
You
make me happy.” I blush at my words.

 

He flashes his
sexy smile again. “I know, but I just want to spoil my pretty girl.”

 

I give him
another kiss. “Can you help me put on my necklace?”

 

“With
pleasure.”

 

As he is helping
me with my necklace, I take my bracelet out and put it on my left wrist.

“Let’s eat and
then we can watch a movie!”

 

“Alright, sounds
good.”

 

We eat dinner
and Adam explains how work has been going. I listen attentively and am
mesmerized by his words. My eyes shoot down to his mouth and I can’t stop
thinking about what I want his lips to do to me. I feel my own arousal and
shake my head to get those thoughts out of my head. He is so sexy that it
should be illegal. The way his eyes are filled with excitement and happiness
when he is talking about the company, makes me beam with glee. I am so proud of
him and everything he has accomplished. A part of me wants to know what else I
can do to help him with work, but the other just wants to listen to his voice.
It feels as though every moment with him, I fall even harder.

 

As we finish
with dinner, I put the plates in the sink. “Baby I’m going to go change. Find
us a movie to watch.” I saunter to the room and slither out of my dress. I put
on some shorts and a tank top. I grin to myself knowing I’m dressed in little
clothing to turn him on. When I get back to the living room, he is sitting on
the couch with just his black suit pants and a white tee. Everything inside of
me yells to get on him and ride him like crazy but I have to resist. I actually
want to cuddle with him a little tonight.

 

“What movie did
you pick?” I twirl a piece of my hair and bat my eyes at him.

 

Adam turns his
head over to me and his jaw drops. His eyes slowly run up and down my body.
“Wow.”

 

“What,” I
innocently say while playing with my hair. I walk over to him with a slight
bounce in my step, “So, what movie?” I snuggle up close to him and push my
chest into his. I look down and see his excitement.

 

“Umm…I didn’t,
let’s just watch TV.” Adam readjusts himself and puts his arm over me. We stay
like this for a while watching a show about a girl and her guy roommates. I
ignore his stares and laugh at the show. I know that I’m getting to him and it
makes me so pleased. “So, what are you thinking about?” He strokes my arm and
makes me feel hot all over.

 

I fake a yawn,
“Oh…nothing.” I put my arms over my head and stretch.

 

“I know what
you’re doing and it is not going to work.” He looks at me with want and shakes
his head. “You’re so bad.”

 

I get on my
knees while facing him and smile. I lean in closer and my cheek touches his
face as I brush my lips to his. I get brave and nibble on his ear. I hear his
sharp breath and giggle. “You like that?” I know he is trying hard to resist me
but I am going to break him. I straddle him and trail kisses down his face to
his neck. I hear him softly moan. I grab his hair with a little more force and
take my other hand down his chest.

 

“Enough!” He
picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. I start giggling as he kisses
me. He gently sets me down on the bed and takes off my clothes. “Baby you are
so sexy.” I’m laying down in my bra and panties and feel so at ease with him.
He makes me confident and sexy. I want to please him anyway possible. He bends
down and takes off my bra with ease. His mouth finds my nipple and I moan
loudly, while grabbing his hair. It feels good to have his tongue playing with
me.

 

His hand moves
down and rubs my wetness. He massages me slowly and it feels so good. He is
near my face and I feel the weight of his body on me. He plays with me and I
pull him tighter to my body. His pace increases and I moan louder. Within
seconds, I fall apart. I need him inside of me. “Adam, please…now.”

 

I hear him
laugh. “So impatient now aren’t we?” He kisses in between my thighs and makes
his way up my body. I am trembling with each kiss. I feel his erection as he
climbs on top of me. He pulls down my panties and passionately kisses me.

 

“Mr. Simpson,
you still have your clothes on.” I seductively say.

 

“Why I do. I
think I need your help.” He gets up and stares at me with his sexy eyes. I melt
with just his look. I get up and run my hands over his body. I tug at the hem
of his shirt and yank it off. I kiss his chest and hear him moan. I fumble with
his pants and hear Adam softly laugh. After a few seconds, I get them off along
with his boxers. I see my favorite part of his body spring free and lick my
lips. He pulls me to his body and our lips meet again. I part my lips and our
tongues dance together. He slowly brings me down to the bed and kisses me all
over. “Spread your legs baby,” he excitedly says.
